A provision is recognised when the Company has a presentobligation as a result of a past event and it is probable thatan outflow of embodying economic benefits will be requiredto settle the obligation and there is a reliable estimate ofthe amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured atthe best estimate of the expenditure required to settle thepresent obligation at the Balance sheet date. Provisions aredetermined by discounting the expected future cash flows(representing the best estimate of the expenditure requiredto settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date) ata pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments ofthe time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from pastevents and whose existence will be confirmed only by theoccurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertainfuture events not wholly within the control of the entity ora present obligation that arises from past events but is notrecognised because it is not probable that an outflow ofresources embodying economic benefits will be required tosettle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannotbe measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosedin the notes. Contingent assets are neither recognisednor disclosed in the financial statements. Provisions arereviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to effectcurrent management estimates. Contingent liabilities arerecognised when there is possible obligation arising frompast events.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Itis recognised in statement of profit and loss except to theextent that it relates to items recognised directly in equityor in OCI.
Current tax is measured at the amount expected tobe paid in respect of taxable income for the year inaccordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961. Currenttax comprises the expected tax payable or receivableon the taxable income or loss for the year and anyadjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respectof previous years. It is measured using tax rates andtax laws enacted or substantively enacted at thereporting date.
Current income tax relating to items recognisedoutside profit or loss is recognised outside profit orloss (either in other comprehensive income or in equity).Current tax items are recognised in correlation to theunderlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.Management periodically evaluates positions takenin the tax returns with respect to situations in whichapplicable tax regulations are subject to interpretationand establishes provisions where appropriate.
Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offsetonly if the Company has a legally enforceable rightto set off the recognised amounts, and it intends torealise the asset and settle the liability on a net basisor simultaneously.
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, ontemporary differences arising between the tax basesof assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts inthe financial statements.
Deferred tax assets arising mainly on account of carryforward losses and unabsorbed depreciation under taxlaws are recognised only if there is reasonable certaintyof its realisation.
Deferred tax assets on account of other temporarydifferences are recognised only to the extent that thereis reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxableincome will be available against which such deferredtax assets can be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measuredusing tax rates and tax laws that have been enactedor substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.Changes in deferred tax assets / liabilities on accountof changes in enacted tax rates are given effect to in thestandalone statement of profit and loss in the period ofthe change. The carrying amount of deferred tax assetsare reviewed at each Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set¬off assets against liabilities representing current taxand where the deferred tax assets and deferred taxliabilities relate to taxes on income levied by the samegoverning taxation laws.
The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per equityshare. Basic earnings per equity share have been computedby dividing net profit/loss attributable to the equity shareholders for the year by the weighted average number ofequity shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earningsper equity share have been computed by dividing the netprofit attributable to the equity share holders after givingimpact of dilutive potential equity shares for the year bythe weighted average number of equity shares and dilutivepotential equity shares outstanding during the year, exceptwhere the results are anti-dilutive.
Expenses related to borrowing cost are accounted usingeffective interest rate. Borrowing costs are interest andother costs (including exchange differences relating to foreigncurrency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded asan adjustment to interest costs) incurred in connection withthe borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributableto acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarilytake a substantial period of time to get ready for theirintended use are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in theperiod in which they are incurred. The difference betweenthe discounted amount mobilised and redemption value ofcommercial papers is recognised in the statement of profitand loss over the life of the instrument using the EIR.
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associatesare recognised at cost as per Ind AS 27. Except whereinvestments accounted for at cost shall be accounted forin accordance with Ind AS 105, Non-current Assets Held forSale and Discontinued Operations, when they are classifiedas held for sale.
Expenses and assets are recognised net of the goodsand services tax paid, except when the tax incurred on apurchase of assets or services is not recoverable from thetax authority, in which case, the tax paid is recognised aspart of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of theexpense item, as applicable.
The net amount of tax recoverable from, or payable to, thetax authority is included as part of receivables or payables,respectively, in the balance sheet.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ofexchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchangedifferences arising on settlement of revenue transactionsare recognised in the statement of profit and loss. Monetaryassets and liabilities contracted in foreign currencies arerestated at the rate of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet
date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measuredat fair value in a foreign currency are translated into thefunctional currency at the exchange rate when the fair valuewas determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that aremeasured based on historical cost in a foreign currency aretranslated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA”) had notified theCompanies (Indian Accounting Standards) AmendmentRules, 2023 dated 31 March, 2023 to amend the followingInd AS which were effective from 01 April, 2023. However,these amendments does not have an impact on FinancialStatements and material accounting policy information.
Ind AS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Thisamendment requires the entities to disclose their materialaccounting policies rather than their significant accountingpolicies. The effective date for adoption of this amendmentis annual periods beginning on or after 01 April, 2023. TheCompany has evaluated the amendment and the impactof the amendment is insignificant in the Company'sfinancial statements.
Ind AS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in AccountingEstimates and Errors - This amendment has introduceda definition of accounting estimates' and includedamendments to Ind AS 8 to help entities distinguish changesin accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annualperiods beginning on or after 01 April, 2023. The Companyhas evaluated the amendment and there is no impact on itsfinancial statements.
Ind AS 12 - Income Taxes - This amendment has narrowed thescope of the initial recognition exemption so that it does notapply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsettingtemporary differences. The effective date for adoption ofthis amendment is annual periods beginning on or after 01April, 2023. The Company has evaluated the amendment andthere is no impact on its financial statement.
There are no standards that are notified and not yet effectiveas on the date.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IndAS requires management to make estimates, judgements andassumptions that affect the application of accounting policiesand the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (includingcontingent liabilities) and disclosures as of the date of the financialstatements and the reported amounts of revenues and expensesfor the reporting period. Actual results could differ from theseestimates. Accounting estimates and underlying assumptions arereviewed on an ongoing basis and could change from period toperiod. Appropriate changes in estimates are recognised in the
periods in which the Company becomes aware of the changesin circumstances surrounding the estimates. Any revisions toaccounting estimates are recognised prospectively in the periodin which the estimate is revised and future periods. Following areestimates and judgements that have significant impact on thecarrying amount of assets and liabilities at each balance sheet:
Classification and measurement of financial assets dependson the results of the SPPI (Solely Payments of Principaland Interest) and the business model test. The Companydetermines the business model at a level that reflects howgroups of financial assets are managed together to achievea particular business objective. This assessment includesjudgement reflecting all relevant evidence including how theperformance of the assets is evaluated and their performancemeasured, the risks that affect the performance of the assetsand how these are managed. The Company monitors financialassets measured at amortised cost or fair value through othercomprehensive income that are derecognised prior to theirmaturity to understand the reason for their disposal andwhether the reasons are consistent with the objective of thebusiness for which the asset was held. Fair value through profitor loss (FVTPL), where the assets are managed in accordancewith an approved investment strategy that triggers purchaseand sale decisions based on the fair value of such assets.Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, withunrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fairvalue being recognised in the standalone statement of profitand loss in the period in which they arise.
The fair value of financial instruments is the price thatwould be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer aliability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or mostadvantageous) market at the measurement date undercurrent market conditions (i.e., an exit price) regardlessof whether that price is directly observable or estimatedusing another valuation technique. When the fair valuesof financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in thebalance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, theyare determined using a variety of valuation techniques thatinclude the use of valuation models. The inputs to thesemodels are taken from observable markets where possible,but where this is not feasible, estimation is required inestablishing fair values. Judgements and estimates includeconsiderations of liquidity and model inputs related to itemssuch as credit risk (both own and counterparty), fundingvalue adjustments, correlation and volatility. For furtherdetails about determination of fair value please see note 46
Some of the Company's assets and liabilities are measuredat fair value for financial reporting purposes. Fair value isthe price that would be received to sell an asset or paid totransfer a liability in an orderly transaction between marketparticipants at the measurement date regardless of whetherthat price is directly observable or estimated using anothervaluation technique.
Fair value measurements under Ind AS are categorised intoLevel 1,2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to thefair value measurements are observable and the significanceof the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety,which are described as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets foridentical assets or liabilities that the Company can accessat measurement date
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level1 that are observable for the asset or liability, eitherdirectly or indirectly; and
• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not basedon observable market data (unobservable inputs) that theCompany can access at measurement date
The Company's EIR methodology, recognises interestincome / expense using a rate of return that represents thebest estimate of a constant rate of return over the expectedbehavioural life of loans given / taken and recognises theeffect of potentially different interest rates at various stagesand other characteristics of the financial instruments.
This estimation, by nature, requires an element of judgementregarding the expected behaviour and life-cycle of theinstruments, as well expected changes to India's base rateand other fee income/expense that are integral parts ofthe instrument.
The company operates in a regulatory and legal environmentthat, by nature, has a heightened element of litigation riskinherent to its operations. As a result, it is involved in variouslitigation, arbitration and regulatory investigations andproceedings in the ordinary course of the Company's business.
When the Company can reliably measure the outflowof economic benefits in relation to a specific case andconsiders such outflows to be probable, the Companyrecords a provision against the case. Where the probability ofoutflow is considered to be remote, or probable, but a reliableestimate cannot be made, a contingent liability is disclosed.
Given the subjectivity and uncertainty of determining theprobability and amount of losses, the Company takes intoaccount a number of factors including legal advice, thestage of the matter and historical evidence from similarincidents. Significant judgement is required to conclude onthese estimates.
Estimating fair value for share based payment requiresdetermination of the most appropriate valuation model.The estimate also requires determination of the mostappropriate inputs to the valuation model including theexpected life of the option, volatility and dividend yieldand making assumptions about them. The assumptions
and models used for estimating fair value for share basedpayments transactions are discussed in note 42 "Employeestock option plan" (ESOP).
When determining whether the risk of default on afinancial instruments has increased significantly sinceinitial recognition, the company considers reasonableand supportable information that is relevant and availablewithout undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitativeand qualitative information and analysis, based on thecompany's historical experience and credit assessment andincluding forward-looking information.
The inputs used and process followed by the company indetermining the ECL have been detailed in note 47.
Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences between thetax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, atthe rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at thereporting date. The ultimate realisation of deferred tax assets isdependent upon the generation of future taxable profits duringthe periods in which those temporary differences becomedeductible. The Company considers the expected reversal ofdeferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income inmaking this assessment. The amount of the deferred tax assetsconsidered realisable, however, could be reduced in the nearterm if estimates of future taxable income during the carry¬forward period are reduced.
The cost of the defined benefit plans and the present valueof the defined benefit obligation are based on actuarialvaluation using the projected unit credit method. Anactuarial valuation involves making various assumptionsthat may differ from actual developments in the future.These include the determination of the discount rate, futuresalary increases and mortality rates. Due to the complexitiesinvolved in the valuation and its long-term nature, adefined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes inthese assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at eachreporting date.
Ind AS 116 defines a lease term as the non-cancellable periodfor which the lessee has the right-to-use an underlying assetincluding optional periods, when an entity is reasonablycertain to exercise an option to extend (or not to terminate)a lease. The Company consider all relevant facts andcircumstances that create an economic incentive for thelessee to exercise the option when determining the leaseterm. The option to extend the lease term are included inthe lease term, if it is reasonably certain that the lessee willexercise the option. The Company reassess the option whensignificant events or changes in circumstances occur thatare within the control of the lessee.
The Company has entered into an official partner agreement. In terms of this agreement, a bank guarantee has been issued for securing
the Company's obligation to make rights fees as well as performance of other obligations.

The Company's liabilities under the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 are determined on the basis of actuarial valuation made at theend of each reporting period using the projected unit credit method.
The gratuity benefit is provided through unfunded plan and annual contributions are charged to the statement of profit and loss.Under the scheme, the settlement obligation remains with the Company. Company accounts for the liability for future gratuitybenefits based on an actuarial valuation. The net present value of the Company's obligation towards the same is actuariallydetermined based on the projected unit credit method as at the Balance Sheet date.
The plan is of a final salary defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the Company and hence it underwrites all the riskspertaining to the plan. The actuarial risks associated are:
Discount rate for this valuation is based on government bonds having similar term to duration of liabilities. Due to lack of a deepand secondary bond market in India, government bond yields are used to arrive at the discount rate.
If the actual mortality rate in the future turns out to be more or less than expected then it may result in increase / decrease inthe liability.
If the actual withdrawal rate in the future turns out to be more or less than expected then it may result in increase / decrease inthe liability.
More or less than expected increase in the future salary levels may result in increase / decrease in the liability.

TheCompany's risk management is coordinated by the Board of Directors and focuses on securing long term and short term cash flows. TheCompany does not engage in trading of financial assets for speculative purposes.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in marketprices. Market risk comprises following types of risk: interest rate risk and currency risk. Financial instruments affected by marketrisk include borrowings.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes inmarket interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising mainly from borrowings with floating interest rates.The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the cash flows associated with floating rate borrowings will fluctuatewith changes in interest rates. The Company manages the interest rate risks by maintaining a debt portfolio comprising a mixof fixed and floating rate borrowings.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value for future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because ofchanges in foreign exchange rates. As at each reporting date, the Company does not have significant exposure in foreigncurrency, therefore it is not exposed to currency risk.
Credit risk is the risk that the Company will incur a loss because its customers or counterparties fail to discharge their contractualobligation. The Company manages and controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk it is willing to accept for individualcounterparties, and by monitoring exposures in relations to such limits.
The maximum exposure to credit risk for each class of financial instruments is the carrying amount of that class of financialinstruments presented in the financial statements. The Company's major classes of financial assets are cash and cash equivalents,loans, term deposits, trade receivables and security deposits.
Cash and cash equivalents and term deposits with banks are considered to have negligible risk or nil risk, as they are maintainedwith high rated banks / financial institutions as approved by the Board of directors. Security deposits are kept with stock exchangesfor meeting minimum base capital requirements. These deposits do not have any credit risk.
The management has established accounts receivable policy under which customer accounts are regularly monitored. The Companyhas a dedicated risk management team, which monitors the positions, exposures and margins on a continuous basis.
The Company applies the Ind AS 109 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expectedloss allowance (ECL) for all trade receivables.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognisesimpairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristicsas follow:
• Receivable from Brokerage (Secured by collaterals mainly in form of Securities of listed Company)
• Receivable from Exchange (Unsecured)
• Receivable from Depository (Secured by collaterals mainly in form of Securities of listed Company)
Receivable from exchange (unsecured): There are no historical loss incurred in respect of receivable from exchange. Entireexposure/receivable as at each reporting period is received and settled within 7 days from reporting period. Therefore, noECL is recognised in respect of receivable from exchange.
Receivable from brokerage and depository: Company has large number of customer base with shared credit risk characteristics.As per policy of the Company, trade receivable to the extent not covered by collateral (i.e. unsecured trade receivable) isconsidered as default and are fully written off as bad debt against respective trade receivables and the amount of loss isrecognised in the statement of profit and loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss model (ECL) for measurement and recognition ofimpairment loss. The expected credit loss is a product of exposure at default (EAD), probability of default (PD) and loss givendefault (LGD). The financial assets have been segmented into three stages based on the risk profiles, primarily based onpast due.
Company has large number of customer base with shared credit risk characteristics. Margin trading facilities are secured bycollaterals. As per policy of the Company, margin trading facilities to the extent covered by collateral and servicing intereston a regular basis is not considered as due/default. Accounts becoming due/default are fully written off as bad debt againstrespective receivables and the amount of loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Subsequent recoveries ofamounts previously written off are credited to the Statement of Profit and Loss as bad debts recovered.
As per Ind AS 109, the maximum period to consider when measuring expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period(including extension options) over which the entity is exposed to credit risk and not a longer period, even if that longer periodis consistent with business practice. Therefore, the maximum period to consider when measuring expected credit losses forthese trading facilities is the maximum contractual period (i.e. on demand/one day).
The Company manages its capital structure and makes necessary adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and therequirement of financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment toshareholders, return on capital to shareholders, issue new shares or raise / repay debt.
